What do strippers, adult film performers, and exotic dancers know about skincare that the rest of us don't? Turns out, quite a lot. When your appearance directly impacts your income and you work under harsh conditions, you quickly develop effective skincare strategies that stand up to extreme challenges.
We dive into the specialized routines sex workers use to maintain glowing skin despite stage lights, heavy makeup, constant friction, and back-to-back performances. These professionals have mastered techniques to combat issues that would leave most people's skin in distress. From Vietnamese-American makeup artist Nam Vo (who developed her famous "dewy dumpling" technique while working with strip club dancers) to current adult performers who've shared their post-shift recovery rituals, the adult entertainment industry has become an unexpected source of practical skincare wisdom.
The conversation reveals fascinating insights about treating "friction zones," preventing irritation from frequent waxing, and the importance of post-shift cleansing routines. We explore how performers use specific products like waterproof setting sprays during shows and rich body butters afterward, creating an effective skincare sandwich that protects and repairs. Beyond just products, we discuss how many sex workers incorporate holistic recovery practices, including epsom salt baths and "comfort meals" that nourish both body and spirit after demanding performances.
Whether you wear heavy makeup, exercise intensively, or simply want more effective skincare, these industry secrets offer valuable lessons that anyone can apply. As we conclude, the most important takeaway remains: consistency is everything. Treat your skin like it's your job to care for it - because it is.

Right, and all you got to show is it's on your
whole.
Life on the whole has to lookmuch.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And and not this is not to denigrate anybody who's
in the sex um industry Um, Imean, I think it's a very much
needed as I itch my arm.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Um.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I think it's a much needed industry that, um, it
just maybe needs a little bit oftidying up with uh, with the
way people are treated.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
It could be.
You know, um, I think so, I.
It's definitely something thatpeople like to do.
You know, um, I, I think so.
I it's definitely somethingpeople like to do.
You know, I've heard peoplelike to have sex and um.
So maybe you know, as a workeror whatever, you do that.
Or you know, maybe that's justyour way of, that's an your,
that's your addiction and you'vemade, you found a way to make
money off of it.
You know that's what we dopretty much.
Yeah, yeah, I'm addicted toopening my mouth and obviously
(04:45):
it's like sex working, exceptjokes sometimes come out.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yes, yeah, and then people laugh, and then you go
home?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, like sex.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Like exactly, people laugh and then they go home,
exactly.
Oh God, I wish I could.
So let's get into it.
All right.
So we're going to talk aboutsome industry insights, some
actual, real anecdotes and apinch of science.
Hmm, pinch of science.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Are you sure about?
You want to do a pinch ofscience when you're talking
about sex workers?
Because everybody knows thatsex workers is mainly religious.
It's mainly like a.
It's a biblical thing.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Oh, I see, I thought you were going to make a joke
about the pinching part.
No, no I.
What was the pinching?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
oh, because, pinching it I don't know because you're
pinching.
I don't know.
Pinching it off.
Pinching someone's when I thinkof pinching a pinch of science
somebody's like squeezingsomebody's bunsen burner like he
well see again.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I thought you're gonna stop at bun squeeting some
oh yeah, bunsen, sorry nicelittle, okay.
Um so um, we're gonna talkabout how some sex workers
maintain really glowing skinthrough sweat, throughout all
the sweat and the friction andthe stage lights, because that's
harsh, exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
And some sex workers through indentured servitude
yeah, some of them.
They don't have a chance, theydon't have a choice.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Don't bum everybody out.
I'm not bumming everybody out.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
But there is a specific part of the like the
massage market.
Yes, you go to a massage parlorand I'm not bumming everybody
out, but there is a specificpart of the like the massage
market.
Yes, you go to a massage parlorand I'm not saying sexually,
I'm saying a lot of those peopleare brought from other
countries and they're forced tomassage until they work off the
debt to the person who broughtthem there.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
That's why when you go to a place and it's like $25
massage, you're like, oh my God,and they definitely aren't
taking it out on you with theirincredibly like, uh, rough
strokes and standing on yourback, not at all.
Their hands are not completelycalloused.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
They don't feel like they've, just, they don't feel
like they've been soothingthemselves with sandpaper, um,
and their fingers don't smelllike cigarettes oh, man but it's
25 and you can't go wrongbecause we're out of business
now I just can't, I can't, andthen we're gonna move on.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
But I'll never forget when you and your brother went
to one of those places.
We're all in the same room.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
And it's like not Italian, italian and like super
Italian.
So I look over and the two boyshave their shirts off, but do
they?
Because it was like by the timeI got down to, my brother, your
brother, it was yeah.
It was like and then?
And the people that aremassaging you are like bodiless
(07:09):
they have no bodies.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, comparison we're actually bodies, we just
have hair.
They're hairless, they're,they're from you know like,
where they don't even any hairof any kind no, no.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
So I was wondering what, like, what they thought,
like I'm like oh man, they'reprobably, like god, this is
awful enough as it is.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Now I have to like feel this guy's hair and you
know, uh, yeah, it's, uh, it's arough thing.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
You know it is a rough thing, all right, so let's
talk about it.
So there's obviously industrypressure.
People are wearing heavy dutymakeup, right sticky costumes
yep, stinky costumes.
Stinky if you're good, ifyou're good at sex work, you're
gonna be wearing a stinkycostume bright lights, um,
there's, uh, they're frequentlydoing back-to-back shows too,
(07:52):
and that's and that includesstrippers as well yeah, they'll
do nuts to butts.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And back to back to one of our favorite comedians.
Let's talk about the skincareof nuts to butts.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, nuts to butts is it butts to nuts or nuts to
butts?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
it's's everything you want it to be, it doesn't
really matter yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
But all that stuff can really give you some major
skin issues.
So there is and I had to lookthis person up Nam Vo.
Okay, she's a renownedVietnamese, american makeup
artist, and she celebrated forher signature dewy dumplings.
Look Right, what is that, youask?
It's a radiant, radiant,glowing skin aesthetic that has
(08:28):
captivated both celebrities andbeauty enthusiasts.
Not reading this at all.
Um, so her journey journey intothe beauty industry is both
very unconventional andinspiring.
Okay, and uh, she started hercareer though getting back to
that in strip clubs gettingprepping the dancers okay right,
so she's credited them forinspiring these dewy dumpling
(08:49):
glow aesthetics and these werelike.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
These were in uh, in vietnam, like in another country
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I, I, I thought it was in america, but I didn't.
I didn't deep dive into thatagain.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
These are strip club and then dancers over.
But like, because when I'mthinking about, like, prepping
strippers for dancing, I I justthink of the club lowering the
lights.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Well, that's nature's makeup.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
That's what I'm saying.
Like you lower the lights, puton loud music, stick body parts
in front of somebody's face thatthey you know, and all of a
sudden their face is dewy,you're like, oh my God, what a
beautiful person I can't barelysee.
Yeah, see, yeah, their face isdewy.
(09:32):
Yeah, um, that's interesting.
Dewy dumplings, okay, I want alittle more.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I want, I want, I want a little more.
I hope I can provide you withmore dewy dumplings.
Yeah, but do a dumpling system.
Did you file it away?
File that one away, never to befound don't be cheeky oh,
you're good.
Okay, hold on, let's see.
So, uh, they basically they'retreating skincare like armor
because, okay, you can't reallybe yourself in that situation.
I don't know if you've noticed,when you go to a strip club,
it's like full on eyelashesmakeup.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Oh yeah, it's so over the top You're supposed to look
like you're kind of like.
You know it's not a realsituation that you're in.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
You know, even though the money you're spending is
real.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, so now there are some other things that you
have to consider.
With, uh, some of those things,some people are extremely, uh,
sensitive to coconut oil and itcauses bad breakouts, so you got
to watch that when you're doing, and also you probably slip
right off the pole right, right.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
You have to be careful about that um, let's see
, yeah, there's.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Let's see what else is there.
Oh shoot, I lost my notes here.
Hold on um a lot of bikiniwaxing.
That's a, that's a skincareconcern.
Yeah, that's a lot that ithurts.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And then it gets like um you have the razor bumps or
you get yeah, you get ingrownhairs, yeah, that's it.
Yeah, you get a rash.
Yeah, and you don't.
You can't take time off forthat stuff.
You have to keep going there.
You can't take time off becauseyou have a rash, when the lights
get lower and the skin and theface gets even more beautiful to
distract from the, uh, theirritated area when, yeah, the
(10:53):
below the belt stuff, the belowthe belt stuff, exactly um, and
apparently I guess she's usedtea tree oil and butt cream
diaper dye.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I don't.
I don't know what a butt creamdiaper dye is, but it's
something called Boudreaux's andthat calms the irritation from
some of those said waxes.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Said waxes okay.
You've never been waxed, oh didI wax your eyebrow once I have
my eyebrow and my nose hairs,that's right.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Oh, that was fun to rip those hairs out of your nose
, wasn't that me?
But I know you got it on set.
No, I don't remember where Idid it I thought you were
shooting a commercial and sheripped out your nose hairs.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
No, I think it was my ears hairs, the nose hairs.
I went once with my I wasvisiting my brother and his wife
at the time went to get hereyebrows done.
She said, oh, I have a creditfor this thing, and I was like
she's giving me a ride to mybrother.
So I was like, all right.
So basically they put thisthing in your nose it's like a
and they it's like a hard wax,it's almost like a it's cold wax
cold, it was warm oh, it waswarm, it was warm, but then it
(11:52):
hardened right and then it'slike black, and then you yank it
out and like it felt, like itwas like.
It felt like like somebody, likejust I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Like it pulled like I feel bad head out of my head.
Well, you have such thick hair,like every follicle probably
feels just like a rope comingthrough your skin.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah, yeah.
That's why I don't get my balls.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Oh, is that why Tweezed.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
So that's why.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, that's why.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I used to get them stringed oh yeah, threading,
threading Okay so.
Wash the threads, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
All right, so after your shift, if you are a sex
worker, it's advised toobviously to take a shower.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Bull shift Even just a quick wipe down just to remove
the sweat, the alcohol Afteryou have sex for a living.
It's good to clean yourself.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I think this is for.
This.
Seems like it's for strippersOkay.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
And then the bacteria .
Okay, yeah, seems like it's forstrippers.
Okay, and then the bacteria.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Okay yeah, because it's after a shift, right Right,
they don't usually call.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
They don't have shifts.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Like the strippers and nurses.
Usually they have shifts, theywork, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Strippers and nurses, yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Overnight shifts.
They do actually.
They do actually nurse who wasgoing through nursing school to
become a stripper and, uh,because it's just, you know it's
much, it's a lot harder to getyour stripper's degree yeah,
your stripper's degree.
Yeah, I like that yeah, youhave to go to school.
You have to drop out of schoolfor so many years before they're
allowed to get your stripper'sdegree, and then it's like it's
(13:20):
very competitive because a lotof people just drop out of
school.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
You're so good, well, I know the job I'm just saying,
like the jokes are reallygetting better, like this is the
fourth one we shot today, solike that was very quick of you,
I liked it.
I mean not, that you're notquick, but like that was fucking
funny.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Thank you very much.
I try to take as much time as Ican but be funny at the same
time.
You are, I want to just want togo home.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Obviously, you need hydration, right, so you need to
moisturize daily.
Uh, use like a good heavy bodybutter post shift, though,
because if you're, if you're onthe pole yeah there's nothing
more dangerous than going on apole.
I took the s factor classes andwhen the girls would put body
lotion on, yeah, you slide rightoff yep and you, you really
hurt yourself.
A lot of hip dysplasia.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
You get a lot of like a lot of stuff where you have
to, like you can't go back towork.
Uh, yeah, that's heavy becauseyou have to like clean yourself
a lot you have to be like dryit'd be dry, and then you have
to put lotion to keep your skinmoist, and then you have to be
dry to get on the thing.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
So that's what's well , that's why they give you those
sticky, uh the plastic shoeswhere you buy them yeah um,
because that's how you can climbup the pole, because the
plastic grabs onto the pole okay, yeah, that's right, it's
really for no other reason otherthan that.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
That is really like that.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I guess that's why they call it sex workers and not
just sex yeah because it's youhave to work it's hard work yeah
huh, I used to be pretty, notvery good, but I would be
willing to show you sometime ifwe ever had a pole situation.
It's just fun to climb the poleand swing around and-.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, we could do that.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yeah, maybe in the yeah, we could put a pole in one
of our rooms somewhere, just asexercise That'd be fun.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
That would be fun, or what we could do is we could
put one outside and then we canalso use it as a tetherball pole
and we can just say boom, boom,boom and then the loser has to
do a pole dance.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
That sounds like a good idea.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, it does sound like a good idea.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I'm tethered to that idea.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You bitch.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Okay, I took this from Allure magazine.
So there's some sex workerscalled Mari V and Cassie Black.
They're performers in the adultand exotic dance industry
who've spoken up and shareddifferent insights about how
they take care of their skin andtheir bodies Exotic dance.
Yes, exotic, that's withfeathers maybe.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I think so.
I was thinking like anamusement park or something like
that.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Why amusement park?
It's very exotic.
Amusement parks are exotic.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I can't think of what I'm trying to say.
What's exotic?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
like you're.
It's like a like an animal.
Certain animals are exotic orsomething that's foreign to your
.
Cars are exotic cars, exoticcars.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Right, like a lamborghini would be an exotic
car, right, right, yeah,something that's different.
Something that's different,okay, yeah, okay it's very
exotic dancing.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah, it's different dancing, different dancing yeah,
that's what they should call it.
That's different.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
The movie should have been called different dancing
instead of dirty thank you,you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
It's just different.
It's just different.
It's just different.
Yeah, it's just different.
It's so stupid.
I'm feeling different.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I'm just feeling some type of way.
Um, okay, so they're talkingabout and giving insights about
how they take care of their skinand bodies while working in
environments like strip clubs,which involve, like we were
talking about, heavy makeupunder the lighting and the
sweating and the long hours.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
High humidity.
The barometric pressure in astrip club has to be just awful.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
It's like raining in there.
Yeah, it's gotta be raining inthere.
They don't have to make it rain.
It's already raining, it'salready raining in there.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
It's like like, oh my god, if there was a boat here
that'd be swells so gross.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
There's lots of swells a lot of swells.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Not very many swells people, but just lots of swells
yeah, not swell people.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Um, so apparently you know, strippers they have to
maintain flawless skin andglowing appearances despite
these incredibly harshconditions, and so they rely on
specific skincare routines thatare like uh products and
lifestyle habits that are goingto combat your issues, which we
just talked about the physicalexertion, the makeup and stuff
like that.
What did they?
(17:15):
Let's look through my notes andsee what they actually said,
cause I repeated myself on this,this thing here.
The reason why I put them onthere is I didn't I didn't know
who they were when I looked themup.
So I actually like looked up tosee who these people were,
cause I didn't know who thosepeople were.
Yeah, um, yeah, so they're intookay.
So Cassie we talked about Ithink it was Cassie V Is that
(17:37):
what I said?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
So she uses an SPF primer, uh waterproof setting
spray.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
So that's really important because that's going
to lock in all of the the umyour makeup, so it's not sliding
off okay and then so she is aum, she's actually a porn person
, a porn oh, that was exoticdancing.
No, actually this one is a wellshe.
They do exotic dancing a lot oftimes too.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, because the supplement to supplement exactly
you gotta.
You gotta keep your skillssharp yeah, I get that.
Yeah, it's a side hustle backwhen I was a strip club
aficionado.
I think the last time I went toa strip club we actually went
there to watch a boxing match ona pay per view.
This was years and years andyears ago and all the strippers
were angry at us because weweren't paying attention to them
(18:22):
and I was like, excuse me,we're trying to watch boxing,
put your body away like, we'llshow you a box yeah, but there
was like, also like other people, nice, thank you god, because
it's a rather, it's a regular.
It's a regular u-haul over thereum, but there was, you know,
like, uh, other porn stars thatwere like oh so, and so is going
(18:42):
to be here, you know, candymelons is going to be here,
whatever is gonna, you know,come in here later, or whatever
right and they, they draw a bigcrowd, huge crowds, and I
realized that's how they makethem, but at least at that point
in time that's how they'remaking the bulk of their money,
because they weren't makingmoney off of videos, because
they weren't selling it so muchfor like commercials and whatnot
, they weren't having, you know,like stuff on ads like jenna
(19:02):
jameson would do stuff like thatand like show up at these strip
clubs and it would just draw somany people.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
So then she gets paid a big lump sum probably.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Exactly or a cover.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That's part of the cover.
She probably gets covered.
She probably definitely getscovered actually, and obviously
she does a lot of post-sceneshowering and then a comfort
meal to reset.
She said that's nice, a comfortmeal.
What's a comfort meal to reset?
She said that's nice.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
A comfort meal, what's a?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
comfort meal, like some spaghetti.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I don't know, after you debased yourself for well,
she could also love it.
So you know what I'm going from.
The angle of this is not whatthey want to do, but maybe this
is what they want to do.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
They say that's what they want to do.
I totally believe them, but I'mjust.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I'm presenting the of somebody that there's not
enough.
There's not enough people herethat are scared about what's
going on in the world, so I wantto present that side.
We're pretty cool with stuffand I'm happy for everybody
doing their own thing, but Ialso want to be terrified yeah
so I'll present, I'll playdevil's advocate.
You're the perfect American,thank you.
But yeah, what's the?
What's the post show meal?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I would like to know Something, probably, that maybe
could make you gassy that youcouldn't eat before, yeah, that
you couldn't have before, ormaybe something that like Like
Chipotle Chipotle yeah, exactlyChipotle or something that makes
you feel so, tastes so good,but yet you know it's not taking
your mind off of work, right?
So maybe you'll have like abeef stroganoff, even though it
makes you sound Beef stroganoff.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
This is 1950?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Well, I'm saying like it sounds like masturbating and
it has beef in there, it doesactually so it wouldn't throw
you off, you know, oh god beefstroganoff is so disgusting.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
What's wrong with that beef stroganoff?
Have you had it?
No, I've never had that stuff,it's such a like in the old
cookbooks that you used to get,like it was like one of like the
big meals that the 50s ladieswould cook, oh okay is it like a
Russian thing?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
it sounds like stroogonoff, I don't know it's
like.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
It's like got a lot of sauciness and beef and just
like cream, I think yeah, it'sheavy as a dictator, almost like
ceviche okay, but with beef isit cold?
I thought it was hot oh, hewants ceviche oh, I'm a totally
different subject alex wantsceviche okay, what's different?
That sounds amazing actually.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I love ceviche yeah, beef, what's the other one?
They're not beef stroking off,but there's also, um, uh,
shepherd's pie, oh, shepherd'spie, baby, there's nothing I
like more after a good strippingsession than a shepherd's pie,
a nice big bowl of shepherd'spie with, like, just like a nice
, just one bite.
You're taking a nap?
Yeah, sorry guys, I'm bloated.
(21:24):
You just eat the wholeshepherd's pie?
Yeah, well, I mean, if you're agood shepherd you eat the whole
pie.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
That sounds good too.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Actually we should you can't flock the shepherd no
this is getting good okay, um,so yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
So basically it's important, not just for your
skin, but emotionally andphysically, to take care of
yourself after you're doing theymeant to have a comfort meal
well, I mean, that's part of it.
She's, you know, she's caringfor herself, right, right, you
know, not just, she probablystarved herself all day long.
So she looked good in a bathingsuit or whatever, or naked or
whatever you do in your strip.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yeah, no matter what you do for like it feels like
even if you do that your entirelife, it's less self-conscious.
You might just not care so muchabout certain things but,
you're still going to be like no, I don't want to go up there
looking like I just ate a bag offarts.
Is that people are going towant to give money?
you're like you know they're inthe vending machine out there,
like nice little blaze farts ohyeah, a gassy farty stripper not
(22:22):
going to get any money nocontrast when I was, I remember
growing up.
I remember seeing strippers alot of times with like tampon
hanging out and they would haveno problem that's because it's
florida oh yeah, it's floridafor sure wow, yeah, well,
they're taking care.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
At least you know that they are.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Uh, they're not in menopause, yeah, and strings
attached, but not in the way youthink I hate you so much.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Come on.
No, all right.
So the key takeaways and forthe glow um guidelines for these
people is you want to exfoliatea lot.
You're going to use a bodyscrub or a sponge because you
want to get all the buildup off,and it will also prevent the
irritation that you're going toget right um, you're going to do
a post-shift cleanse.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Post-shift.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Post-shift, not post shit.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, you don't want to pre-shift.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
No, uh, and then you're going to hydrate, and
then you're going to put a richoil or a body butter on over
whatever you're hydrating withto, um, you know, just to seal
in the juices, yeah, and thenyou're going to want to target
your friction zones um, I'massuming your friction zones if
you, they do a lot of crawling.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
So like elbows, right , uh, yeah I guess, like going
through, like, if you're doinglike, aren't you like holding on
, like your your arm too, whenyou're?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
going.
Yeah, yeah.
Lap dancing also is probablycreating a lot of friction
points, don't you think?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I think so.
Yeah, I think the whole pointof lap dancing is friction.
Yeah, I think the whole thingis friction.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yeah, yeah um, and then a stress set routine.
You can go home and have a nicelittle epsom salt bath, you
know, and these are all thingsthat are going to make you look
good from the inside out, not?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
as much as you're taking a bath.
When you pull that plug, you'renot going to swirl down with
the water.
What do you mean?
And sometimes like, sometimeslike, maybe those are like oh,
have I such a terrible day thatI just, I just want to, I just
want to go in into the drain.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
You know, but you're not going to do that.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
No, why wouldn't they ?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Because they're.
Because they're people, theymatter Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I just wanted you to see how far you would go in
explaining that I have.
I don't care, I'll go as far asI need to go.
Good, please do.
Um, so, yeah, so, and obviouslywith any of this stuff, just
like anything in the 114episodes that we've done,
whatever it is, it's aboutconsistency with the hygiene,
(24:39):
with the routine, with the, withthe recovery, with anything
you're doing with your skin.
You want to.
You have to be consistent, or Imean, you can't just do pilates
one day and then, you know,expect to be like in good shape.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
That's a weird thing is like sometimes that'll happen
where like I will startsomething, I'll do something and
I'll feel good because I'mdoing it, but then I'm like yeah
, but I don't look any differentyeah and then, and then that's
when it's like all right, well,never mind, because instead of
just continuing it like oh, Ifeel good and eventually I'll
keep feeling better, and thenI'll I'm like oh my God, I look
(25:14):
different, which I like the wayI look, and I feel better.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
It's consistency.
You're doing it for your futureself.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, that's a good way to put that.
It is a good way to put it.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
So, yeah, a little exfoliation, a little body
butter, it goes a long way.
A little nighttime lotion.
So basically, yeah, just treatyour skin like it's your job to
take care of your, which it is.
It's your job to take care ofyour own body, whether you're
stripping, having sex for moneyor none of those things.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, or having money for sex.
What did those things?
Yeah, or having money for sex.
What did I say?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
you said sex for money oh yeah, or yeah, we're
having money for sex.
Yeah, okay, right, yeah, Ithought maybe I said it well,
you have sex for money yeah butthen the people that are
spending the money are havingmoney for sex.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Oh, that's, don't forget, the people that are also
spending money for sex haveterrible skin and the people
that they want to see have allthe beautiful skin.
Okay, because what they want?
Because, like anything else,the ugly people want to see
themselves in the beautifulpeople sexually I was going to
say physically physically okay,yeah well, this has been very
(26:17):
enlightening thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I'm glad you learned something you really, really
schooled me on this and I reallyappreciate all the research
that you did for this podcasttoday.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
It's the most I can do yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Well, that about wraps it up.
Thank you so much for um forbeing the guest to bounce things
off of and for um you.
I think you got the best topicof the four that we presented.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
It's a very interesting topic and I like, I
like, uh, the different topicsthat you've kind of been
choosing from lately.
Before they were terrible, butnow, but now they're really good
.
But yeah, no, it's veryinteresting because, yeah, you
would wonder what do they do?
For that situation, and usuallywhen you work, you do something
that's tailored to what you do.
You know, people that, like youknow, work in mines.
(26:57):
When they come out, they haveto clean their face off with a
certain thing.
You know like they don't youhave coal in your face?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Maybe we'll do that episode.
Coal miner skincare.
Coal miner skincare.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Yeah, right.
And then we'll also talk aboutthe fact that they're using
underage labor in coal mines,making them coal miner miners.
Oh man, it's not me, it's theseare the countries doing it.
The regulations areunbelievable.
You wouldn't believe the amountof lies.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
That you're telling.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I'm telling people Okay cool, all right.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Well, thanks for letting me bounce off these
ideas off of you.
And then, if you guys, if youever want to hear a topic on
skincare, some aspect of it thatwe haven't covered, or
something that you want torepeat up, because I'm happy to
do repeats, because there's somestuff that in the longer
podcasts I definitely like,would like to scale down, like
some of the skin taping andstuff like that.
Leave it in the comments for usand we will get to it for sure,
(27:46):
I, I listen and I I don't listento them because they don't,
they don't talk to me, but Iread them all.
I read all one of them and uh,yeah, I read every one.
Speaker 2 (27:55):

This is the only skincarepodcast that actually has
comedians.

I've never seen anything.
What do?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
you mean, you've never seen anything, I've never
seen anything.
Speaker 2 (00:24):

because I've never seen anything.
What do you mean?
You've never seen anything,I've never seen anything.
So this is definitely somethingthat I haven't seen.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Because I've never seen anything.
You don't even see things.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I don't.
I don't look at things becauseI can't see color, or dead
people, or dead people.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
I won't watch anything with Bruce Willis.
With Bruce Willis, well said,thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
So we've thank you for enjoying the new, shorter
format.
It's just been forcing ourincredibly funny friends to be
funny on the fly and it'sactually working.
I think the pressure is really.
Don't you feel like it's makingpeople just sort of like think
faster?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I think it is subconsciously making people
think faster because they knowit's a shorter podcast, but also
they're more excited to get togo home sooner.
I think that's the biggestthing is like when you get, when
you go to a place, you're likeI'm here less than oh my god
everything might as well be thedmv, if you get to go home
sooner, you're like oh, thankgod every time before and and I
love this is like my favoritething to do is this podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Every single time on the way here, we both are like,
oh god, I can't wait to comehome.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, so exciting anything that I've ever planned.
That's super, super excited.
I'm like, oh, this is.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I'm looking forward to talking about it on the way

taxes like everybody, like everyhard-working american, like
every hard-on-working americanthere it is thank you, kaboom
kaboom, you better get checkedfor stds um, I like our topics
lately because it's like it'sstuff that you normally wouldn't
think about with skincare, butit also I think it shines light
on things that you do want toknow about skincare.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Don't you think Sometimes I do.
I want you to praise me rightnow.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, I do.
I think I think that you'redoing a great job and I think
there are things that you'relike.
Oh, I wonder how people takecare of themselves in this
specific thing.
Yeah, you know, um, yeah, like,sometimes I'll like when I used
to watch porn, I used to watch,like you know, like stuff like
that, and I would see thesepeople that looked completely
drugged out of their minds.
Like they had to go somewhereNot that I've seen it, not that
you've seen it Drugged out oftheir minds.
(03:31):
It looked like that their lastyou know ditch effort.
They, they they're smiling andthey you feel like you know.
What are these people doing?
I mean, you know, obviouslytheir lives are in shambles and
they're going to die very early,but you look good.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
As long as they look good, that's all that really
matters.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Right, and all you got to show is it's on your
whole.
Life on the whole has to lookmuch.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And and not this is not to denigrate anybody who's
in the sex um industry Um, Imean, I think it's a very much
needed as I itch my arm.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Um.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I think it's a much needed industry that, um, it
just maybe needs a little bit oftidying up with uh, with the
way people are treated.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
It could be.
You know, um, I think so, I.
It's definitely something thatpeople like to do.
You know, um, I, I think so.
I it's definitely somethingpeople like to do.
You know, I've heard peoplelike to have sex and um.
So maybe you know, as a workeror whatever, you do that.
Or you know, maybe that's justyour way of, that's an your,
that's your addiction and you'vemade, you found a way to make
money off of it.
You know that's what we dopretty much.
Yeah, yeah, I'm addicted toopening my mouth and obviously
(04:45):
it's like sex working, exceptjokes sometimes come out.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yes, yeah, and then people laugh, and then you go
home?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, like sex.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Like exactly, people laugh and then they go home,
exactly.
Oh God, I wish I could.
So let's get into it.
All right.
So we're going to talk aboutsome industry insights, some
actual, real anecdotes and apinch of science.
Hmm, pinch of science.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Are you sure about?
You want to do a pinch ofscience when you're talking
about sex workers?
Because everybody knows thatsex workers is mainly religious.
It's mainly like a.
It's a biblical thing.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Oh, I see, I thought you were going to make a joke
about the pinching part.
No, no I.
What was the pinching?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
oh, because, pinching it I don't know because you're
pinching.
I don't know.
Pinching it off.
Pinching someone's when I thinkof pinching a pinch of science
somebody's like squeezingsomebody's bunsen burner like he
well see again.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I thought you're gonna stop at bun squeeting some
oh yeah, bunsen, sorry nicelittle, okay.
Um so um, we're gonna talkabout how some sex workers
maintain really glowing skinthrough sweat, throughout all
the sweat and the friction andthe stage lights, because that's
harsh, exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
And some sex workers through indentured servitude
yeah, some of them.
They don't have a chance, theydon't have a choice.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Don't bum everybody out.
I'm not bumming everybody out.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
But there is a specific part of the like the
massage market.
Yes, you go to a massage parlorand I'm not bumming everybody
out, but there is a specificpart of the like the massage
market.
Yes, you go to a massage parlorand I'm not saying sexually,
I'm saying a lot of those peopleare brought from other
countries and they're forced tomassage until they work off the
debt to the person who broughtthem there.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
That's why when you go to a place and it's like $25
massage, you're like, oh my God,and they definitely aren't
taking it out on you with theirincredibly like, uh, rough
strokes and standing on yourback, not at all.
Their hands are not completelycalloused.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
They don't feel like they've, just, they don't feel
like they've been soothingthemselves with sandpaper, um,
and their fingers don't smelllike cigarettes oh, man but it's
25 and you can't go wrongbecause we're out of business
now I just can't, I can't, andthen we're gonna move on.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
But I'll never forget when you and your brother went
to one of those places.
We're all in the same room.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
And it's like not Italian, italian and like super
Italian.
So I look over and the two boyshave their shirts off, but do
they?
Because it was like by the timeI got down to, my brother, your
brother, it was yeah.
It was like and then?
And the people that aremassaging you are like bodiless
(07:09):
they have no bodies.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, comparison we're actually bodies, we just
have hair.
They're hairless, they're,they're from you know like,
where they don't even any hairof any kind no, no.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
So I was wondering what, like, what they thought,
like I'm like oh man, they'reprobably, like god, this is
awful enough as it is.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Now I have to like feel this guy's hair and you
know, uh, yeah, it's, uh, it's arough thing.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
You know it is a rough thing, all right, so let's
talk about it.
So there's obviously industrypressure.
People are wearing heavy dutymakeup, right sticky costumes
yep, stinky costumes.
Stinky if you're good, ifyou're good at sex work, you're
gonna be wearing a stinkycostume bright lights, um,
there's, uh, they're frequentlydoing back-to-back shows too,
(07:52):
and that's and that includesstrippers as well yeah, they'll
do nuts to butts.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And back to back to one of our favorite comedians.
Let's talk about the skincareof nuts to butts.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, nuts to butts is it butts to nuts or nuts to
butts?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
it's's everything you want it to be, it doesn't
really matter yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
But all that stuff can really give you some major
skin issues.
So there is and I had to lookthis person up Nam Vo.
Okay, she's a renownedVietnamese, american makeup
artist, and she celebrated forher signature dewy dumplings.
Look Right, what is that, youask?
It's a radiant, radiant,glowing skin aesthetic that has
(08:28):
captivated both celebrities andbeauty enthusiasts.
Not reading this at all.
Um, so her journey journey intothe beauty industry is both
very unconventional andinspiring.
Okay, and uh, she started hercareer though getting back to
that in strip clubs gettingprepping the dancers okay right,
so she's credited them forinspiring these dewy dumpling
(08:49):
glow aesthetics and these werelike.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
These were in uh, in vietnam, like in another country
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I, I, I thought it was in america, but I didn't.
I didn't deep dive into thatagain.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
These are strip club and then dancers over.
But like, because when I'mthinking about, like, prepping
strippers for dancing, I I justthink of the club lowering the
lights.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Well, that's nature's makeup.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
That's what I'm saying.
Like you lower the lights, puton loud music, stick body parts
in front of somebody's face thatthey you know, and all of a
sudden their face is dewy,you're like, oh my God, what a
beautiful person I can't barelysee.
Yeah, see, yeah, their face isdewy.
(09:32):
Yeah, um, that's interesting.
Dewy dumplings, okay, I want alittle more.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I want, I want, I want a little more.
I hope I can provide you withmore dewy dumplings.
Yeah, but do a dumpling system.
Did you file it away?
File that one away, never to befound don't be cheeky oh,
you're good.
Okay, hold on, let's see.
So, uh, they basically they'retreating skincare like armor
because, okay, you can't reallybe yourself in that situation.
I don't know if you've noticed,when you go to a strip club,
it's like full on eyelashesmakeup.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Oh yeah, it's so over the top You're supposed to look
like you're kind of like.
You know it's not a realsituation that you're in.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
You know, even though the money you're spending is
real.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, so now there are some other things that you
have to consider.
With, uh, some of those things,some people are extremely, uh,
sensitive to coconut oil and itcauses bad breakouts, so you got
to watch that when you're doing, and also you probably slip
right off the pole right, right.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
You have to be careful about that um, let's see
, yeah, there's.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Let's see what else is there.
Oh shoot, I lost my notes here.
Hold on um a lot of bikiniwaxing.
That's a, that's a skincareconcern.
Yeah, that's a lot that ithurts.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And then it gets like um you have the razor bumps or
you get yeah, you get ingrownhairs, yeah, that's it.
Yeah, you get a rash.
Yeah, and you don't.
You can't take time off forthat stuff.
You have to keep going there.
You can't take time off becauseyou have a rash, when the lights
get lower and the skin and theface gets even more beautiful to
distract from the, uh, theirritated area when, yeah, the
(10:53):
below the belt stuff, the belowthe belt stuff, exactly um, and
apparently I guess she's usedtea tree oil and butt cream
diaper dye.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I don't.
I don't know what a butt creamdiaper dye is, but it's
something called Boudreaux's andthat calms the irritation from
some of those said waxes.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Said waxes okay.
You've never been waxed, oh didI wax your eyebrow once I have
my eyebrow and my nose hairs,that's right.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Oh, that was fun to rip those hairs out of your nose
, wasn't that me?
But I know you got it on set.
No, I don't remember where Idid it I thought you were
shooting a commercial and sheripped out your nose hairs.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
No, I think it was my ears hairs, the nose hairs.
I went once with my I wasvisiting my brother and his wife
at the time went to get hereyebrows done.
She said, oh, I have a creditfor this thing, and I was like
she's giving me a ride to mybrother.
So I was like, all right.
So basically they put thisthing in your nose it's like a
and they it's like a hard wax,it's almost like a it's cold wax
cold, it was warm oh, it waswarm, it was warm, but then it
(11:52):
hardened right and then it'slike black, and then you yank it
out and like it felt, like itwas like.
It felt like like somebody, likejust I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Like it pulled like I feel bad head out of my head.
Well, you have such thick hair,like every follicle probably
feels just like a rope comingthrough your skin.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah, yeah.
That's why I don't get my balls.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Oh, is that why Tweezed.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
So that's why.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, that's why.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I used to get them stringed oh yeah, threading,
threading Okay so.
Wash the threads, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
All right, so after your shift, if you are a sex
worker, it's advised toobviously to take a shower.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Bull shift Even just a quick wipe down just to remove
the sweat, the alcohol Afteryou have sex for a living.
It's good to clean yourself.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I think this is for.
This.
Seems like it's for strippersOkay.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
And then the bacteria .
Okay, yeah, seems like it's forstrippers.
Okay, and then the bacteria.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Okay yeah, because it's after a shift, right Right,
they don't usually call.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
They don't have shifts.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Like the strippers and nurses.
Usually they have shifts, theywork, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Strippers and nurses, yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Overnight shifts.
They do actually.
They do actually nurse who wasgoing through nursing school to
become a stripper and, uh,because it's just, you know it's
much, it's a lot harder to getyour stripper's degree yeah,
your stripper's degree.
Yeah, I like that yeah, youhave to go to school.
You have to drop out of schoolfor so many years before they're
allowed to get your stripper'sdegree, and then it's like it's
(13:20):
very competitive because a lotof people just drop out of
school.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
You're so good, well, I know the job I'm just saying,
like the jokes are reallygetting better, like this is the
fourth one we shot today, solike that was very quick of you,
I liked it.
I mean not, that you're notquick, but like that was fucking
funny.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Thank you very much.
I try to take as much time as Ican but be funny at the same
time.
You are, I want to just want togo home.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Obviously, you need hydration, right, so you need to
moisturize daily.
Uh, use like a good heavy bodybutter post shift, though,
because if you're, if you're onthe pole yeah there's nothing
more dangerous than going on apole.
I took the s factor classes andwhen the girls would put body
lotion on, yeah, you slide rightoff yep and you, you really
hurt yourself.
A lot of hip dysplasia.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
You get a lot of like a lot of stuff where you have
to, like you can't go back towork.
Uh, yeah, that's heavy becauseyou have to like clean yourself
a lot you have to be like dryit'd be dry, and then you have
to put lotion to keep your skinmoist, and then you have to be
dry to get on the thing.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
So that's what's well , that's why they give you those
sticky, uh the plastic shoeswhere you buy them yeah um,
because that's how you can climbup the pole, because the
plastic grabs onto the pole okay, yeah, that's right, it's
really for no other reason otherthan that.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
That is really like that.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I guess that's why they call it sex workers and not
just sex yeah because it's youhave to work it's hard work yeah
huh, I used to be pretty, notvery good, but I would be
willing to show you sometime ifwe ever had a pole situation.
It's just fun to climb the poleand swing around and-.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, we could do that.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yeah, maybe in the yeah, we could put a pole in one
of our rooms somewhere, just asexercise That'd be fun.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
That would be fun, or what we could do is we could
put one outside and then we canalso use it as a tetherball pole
and we can just say boom, boom,boom and then the loser has to
do a pole dance.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
That sounds like a good idea.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, it does sound like a good idea.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I'm tethered to that idea.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You bitch.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Okay, I took this from Allure magazine.
So there's some sex workerscalled Mari V and Cassie Black.
They're performers in the adultand exotic dance industry
who've spoken up and shareddifferent insights about how
they take care of their skin andtheir bodies Exotic dance.
Yes, exotic, that's withfeathers maybe.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I think so.
I was thinking like anamusement park or something like
that.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Why amusement park?
It's very exotic.
Amusement parks are exotic.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I can't think of what I'm trying to say.
What's exotic?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
like you're.
It's like a like an animal.
Certain animals are exotic orsomething that's foreign to your
.
Cars are exotic cars, exoticcars.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Right, like a lamborghini would be an exotic
car, right, right, yeah,something that's different.
Something that's different,okay, yeah, okay it's very
exotic dancing.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah, it's different dancing, different dancing yeah,
that's what they should call it.
That's different.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
The movie should have been called different dancing
instead of dirty thank you,you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
It's just different.
It's just different.
It's just different.
Yeah, it's just different.
It's so stupid.
I'm feeling different.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I'm just feeling some type of way.
Um, okay, so they're talkingabout and giving insights about
how they take care of their skinand bodies while working in
environments like strip clubs,which involve, like we were
talking about, heavy makeupunder the lighting and the
sweating and the long hours.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
High humidity.
The barometric pressure in astrip club has to be just awful.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
It's like raining in there.
Yeah, it's gotta be raining inthere.
They don't have to make it rain.
It's already raining, it'salready raining in there.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
It's like like, oh my god, if there was a boat here
that'd be swells so gross.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
There's lots of swells a lot of swells.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Not very many swells people, but just lots of swells
yeah, not swell people.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Um, so apparently you know, strippers they have to
maintain flawless skin andglowing appearances despite
these incredibly harshconditions, and so they rely on
specific skincare routines thatare like uh products and
lifestyle habits that are goingto combat your issues, which we
just talked about the physicalexertion, the makeup and stuff
like that.
What did they?
(17:15):
Let's look through my notes andsee what they actually said,
cause I repeated myself on this,this thing here.
The reason why I put them onthere is I didn't I didn't know
who they were when I looked themup.
So I actually like looked up tosee who these people were,
cause I didn't know who thosepeople were.
Yeah, um, yeah, so they're intookay.
So Cassie we talked about Ithink it was Cassie V Is that
(17:37):
what I said?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
So she uses an SPF primer, uh waterproof setting
spray.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
So that's really important because that's going
to lock in all of the the umyour makeup, so it's not sliding
off okay and then so she is aum, she's actually a porn person
, a porn oh, that was exoticdancing.
No, actually this one is a wellshe.
They do exotic dancing a lot oftimes too.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, because the supplement to supplement exactly
you gotta.
You gotta keep your skillssharp yeah, I get that.
Yeah, it's a side hustle backwhen I was a strip club
aficionado.
I think the last time I went toa strip club we actually went
there to watch a boxing match ona pay per view.
This was years and years andyears ago and all the strippers
were angry at us because weweren't paying attention to them
(18:22):
and I was like, excuse me,we're trying to watch boxing,
put your body away like, we'llshow you a box yeah, but there
was like, also like other people, nice, thank you god, because
it's a rather, it's a regular.
It's a regular u-haul over thereum, but there was, you know,
like, uh, other porn stars thatwere like oh so, and so is going
(18:42):
to be here, you know, candymelons is going to be here,
whatever is gonna, you know,come in here later, or whatever
right and they, they draw a bigcrowd, huge crowds, and I
realized that's how they makethem, but at least at that point
in time that's how they'remaking the bulk of their money,
because they weren't makingmoney off of videos, because
they weren't selling it so muchfor like commercials and whatnot
, they weren't having, you know,like stuff on ads like jenna
(19:02):
jameson would do stuff like thatand like show up at these strip
clubs and it would just draw somany people.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
So then she gets paid a big lump sum probably.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Exactly or a cover.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That's part of the cover.
She probably gets covered.
She probably definitely getscovered actually, and obviously
she does a lot of post-sceneshowering and then a comfort
meal to reset.
She said that's nice, a comfortmeal.
What's a comfort meal to reset?
She said that's nice.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
A comfort meal, what's a?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
comfort meal, like some spaghetti.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I don't know, after you debased yourself for well,
she could also love it.
So you know what I'm going from.
The angle of this is not whatthey want to do, but maybe this
is what they want to do.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
They say that's what they want to do.
I totally believe them, but I'mjust.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I'm presenting the of somebody that there's not
enough.
There's not enough people herethat are scared about what's
going on in the world, so I wantto present that side.
We're pretty cool with stuffand I'm happy for everybody
doing their own thing, but Ialso want to be terrified yeah
so I'll present, I'll playdevil's advocate.
You're the perfect American,thank you.
But yeah, what's the?
What's the post show meal?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I would like to know Something, probably, that maybe
could make you gassy that youcouldn't eat before, yeah, that
you couldn't have before, ormaybe something that like Like
Chipotle Chipotle yeah, exactlyChipotle or something that makes
you feel so, tastes so good,but yet you know it's not taking
your mind off of work, right?
So maybe you'll have like abeef stroganoff, even though it
makes you sound Beef stroganoff.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
This is 1950?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Well, I'm saying like it sounds like masturbating and
it has beef in there, it doesactually so it wouldn't throw
you off, you know, oh god beefstroganoff is so disgusting.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
What's wrong with that beef stroganoff?
Have you had it?
No, I've never had that stuff,it's such a like in the old
cookbooks that you used to get,like it was like one of like the
big meals that the 50s ladieswould cook, oh okay is it like a
Russian thing?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
it sounds like stroogonoff, I don't know it's
like.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
It's like got a lot of sauciness and beef and just
like cream, I think yeah, it'sheavy as a dictator, almost like
ceviche okay, but with beef isit cold?
I thought it was hot oh, hewants ceviche oh, I'm a totally
different subject alex wantsceviche okay, what's different?
That sounds amazing actually.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I love ceviche yeah, beef, what's the other one?
They're not beef stroking off,but there's also, um, uh,
shepherd's pie, oh, shepherd'spie, baby, there's nothing I
like more after a good strippingsession than a shepherd's pie,
a nice big bowl of shepherd'spie with, like, just like a nice
, just one bite.
You're taking a nap?
Yeah, sorry guys, I'm bloated.
(21:24):
You just eat the wholeshepherd's pie?
Yeah, well, I mean, if you're agood shepherd you eat the whole
pie.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
That sounds good too.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Actually we should you can't flock the shepherd no
this is getting good okay, um,so yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
So basically it's important, not just for your
skin, but emotionally andphysically, to take care of
yourself after you're doing theymeant to have a comfort meal
well, I mean, that's part of it.
She's, you know, she's caringfor herself, right, right, you
know, not just, she probablystarved herself all day long.
So she looked good in a bathingsuit or whatever, or naked or
whatever you do in your strip.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yeah, no matter what you do for like it feels like
even if you do that your entirelife, it's less self-conscious.
You might just not care so muchabout certain things but,
you're still going to be like no, I don't want to go up there
looking like I just ate a bag offarts.
Is that people are going towant to give money?
you're like you know they're inthe vending machine out there,
like nice little blaze farts ohyeah, a gassy farty stripper not
(22:22):
going to get any money nocontrast when I was, I remember
growing up.
I remember seeing strippers alot of times with like tampon
hanging out and they would haveno problem that's because it's
florida oh yeah, it's floridafor sure wow, yeah, well,
they're taking care.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
At least you know that they are.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Uh, they're not in menopause, yeah, and strings
attached, but not in the way youthink I hate you so much.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Come on.
No, all right.
So the key takeaways and forthe glow um guidelines for these
people is you want to exfoliatea lot.
You're going to use a bodyscrub or a sponge because you
want to get all the buildup off,and it will also prevent the
irritation that you're going toget right um, you're going to do
a post-shift cleanse.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Post-shift.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Post-shift, not post shit.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, you don't want to pre-shift.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
No, uh, and then you're going to hydrate, and
then you're going to put a richoil or a body butter on over
whatever you're hydrating withto, um, you know, just to seal
in the juices, yeah, and thenyou're going to want to target
your friction zones um, I'massuming your friction zones if
you, they do a lot of crawling.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
So like elbows, right , uh, yeah I guess, like going
through, like, if you're doinglike, aren't you like holding on
, like your your arm too, whenyou're?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
going.
Yeah, yeah.
Lap dancing also is probablycreating a lot of friction
points, don't you think?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I think so.
Yeah, I think the whole pointof lap dancing is friction.
Yeah, I think the whole thingis friction.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yeah, yeah um, and then a stress set routine.
You can go home and have a nicelittle epsom salt bath, you
know, and these are all thingsthat are going to make you look
good from the inside out, not?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
as much as you're taking a bath.
When you pull that plug, you'renot going to swirl down with
the water.
What do you mean?
And sometimes like, sometimeslike, maybe those are like oh,
have I such a terrible day thatI just, I just want to, I just
want to go in into the drain.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
You know, but you're not going to do that.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
No, why wouldn't they ?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Because they're.
Because they're people, theymatter Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I just wanted you to see how far you would go in
explaining that I have.
I don't care, I'll go as far asI need to go.
Good, please do.
Um, so, yeah, so, and obviouslywith any of this stuff, just
like anything in the 114episodes that we've done,
whatever it is, it's aboutconsistency with the hygiene,
(24:39):
with the routine, with the, withthe recovery, with anything
you're doing with your skin.
You want to.
You have to be consistent, or Imean, you can't just do pilates
one day and then, you know,expect to be like in good shape.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
That's a weird thing is like sometimes that'll happen
where like I will startsomething, I'll do something and
I'll feel good because I'mdoing it, but then I'm like yeah
, but I don't look any differentyeah and then, and then that's
when it's like all right, well,never mind, because instead of
just continuing it like oh, Ifeel good and eventually I'll
keep feeling better, and thenI'll I'm like oh my God, I look
(25:14):
different, which I like the wayI look, and I feel better.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
It's consistency.
You're doing it for your futureself.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, that's a good way to put that.
It is a good way to put it.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
So, yeah, a little exfoliation, a little body
butter, it goes a long way.
A little nighttime lotion.
So basically, yeah, just treatyour skin like it's your job to
take care of your, which it is.
It's your job to take care ofyour own body, whether you're
stripping, having sex for moneyor none of those things.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, or having money for sex.
What did those things?
Yeah, or having money for sex.
What did I say?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
you said sex for money oh yeah, or yeah, we're
having money for sex.
Yeah, okay, right, yeah, Ithought maybe I said it well,
you have sex for money yeah butthen the people that are
spending the money are havingmoney for sex.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Oh, that's, don't forget, the people that are also
spending money for sex haveterrible skin and the people
that they want to see have allthe beautiful skin.
Okay, because what they want?
Because, like anything else,the ugly people want to see
themselves in the beautifulpeople sexually I was going to
say physically physically okay,yeah well, this has been very
(26:17):
enlightening thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I'm glad you learned something you really, really
schooled me on this and I reallyappreciate all the research
that you did for this podcasttoday.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
It's the most I can do yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Well, that about wraps it up.
Thank you so much for um forbeing the guest to bounce things
off of and for um you.
I think you got the best topicof the four that we presented.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
It's a very interesting topic and I like, I
like, uh, the different topicsthat you've kind of been
choosing from lately.
Before they were terrible, butnow, but now they're really good
.
But yeah, no, it's veryinteresting because, yeah, you
would wonder what do they do?
For that situation, and usuallywhen you work, you do something
that's tailored to what you do.
You know, people that, like youknow, work in mines.
(26:57):
When they come out, they haveto clean their face off with a
certain thing.
You know like they don't youhave coal in your face?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Maybe we'll do that episode.
Coal miner skincare.
Coal miner skincare.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Yeah, right.
And then we'll also talk aboutthe fact that they're using
underage labor in coal mines,making them coal miner miners.
Oh man, it's not me, it's theseare the countries doing it.
The regulations areunbelievable.
You wouldn't believe the amountof lies.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
That you're telling.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I'm telling people Okay cool, all right.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Well, thanks for letting me bounce off these
ideas off of you.
And then, if you guys, if youever want to hear a topic on
skincare, some aspect of it thatwe haven't covered, or
something that you want torepeat up, because I'm happy to
do repeats, because there's somestuff that in the longer
podcasts I definitely like,would like to scale down, like
some of the skin taping andstuff like that.
Leave it in the comments for usand we will get to it for sure,
(27:46):
I, I listen and I I don't listento them because they don't,
they don't talk to me, but Iread them all.
